The context of our work
The way we organize our economy and society generates increasing negative pressure on people and the planet leading to the depletion of resources, collapse of services provided by nature, increasing inequality and loss of social cohesion. We are experiencing a depletion of economic, social, political and environmental systems, in a dynamic that feeds back, caused by the way in which the prevailing economic system is structured.
The system is driven by 3 interconnected factors: the way the business operates, the culture and narrative about business and consumption, and the way the economic, political and legal systems are structured.
